Outside Looking In

One minute apart So much older Yet we couldnt be further from eachother You were a second mother All three of us Yet eye to eye we'll never see Always wanted acceptance Always wanted to fit in Room full of people Yet im stuck on the outside looking in There for eachother Yet never there for "eachother" Catch 22 is the way I would present you Why wasnt I ever good enough Why couldnt you see all I really needed Was your love and affection Not hatred and dismissance Begged and pleaded on my knees Constantly screaming for you to love me I pushed to far Pulled you away With that you were more than perfectly okay Couldn't care less Thinking about us every day I stressed Not to mention the other who hates me like no other He should have stepped up He should have been there Yet his cowardness was always around Just to tear me down Drugs before us My mistakes he could never look past While his life affected my past Always filled with anger and rage We will never be a family We'll never be on the same page
